A day later.
Outside a small mountain village in the eastern part of Shu, Li Dingtian stopped and looked at an old man walking towards him." Aunt, may I ask if Liu Yue `e's home is here?”
Liu Yue `e was the taxi driver's mother.
"There, that bungalow is it."
The auntie pointed and then glanced at the black plastic bag in Li Dingtian's hand." Why are you looking for her?”
"The old lady helped me on the streets before. It wasn't easy for me to find her and come to see her.”
Li Dingtian did not dare to mention the taxi driver. He was still clear about the confidentiality regulations.
"Hey."
Hearing this, the aunt shook her head and sighed." She's already passed away. Those who have been kind all their lives have no good karma. They gave birth to a son, but no one sent him to his death. That bastard went abroad a long time ago, saying that he was going to make a lot of money. After he left for decades, he didn't even come back to visit his mother when she died of illness. His parents worked hard to raise him, but in the end, they raised such a bastard. What a sin."”
Sigh.
Li Dingtian sighed deeply in his heart. He had already guessed that this would happen before he came.
This was also the situation that many undercover agents and special agents faced.
In order to gain trust and avoid suspicion, they had to cut off contact with their families many times. They even forced themselves to do things that went against their conscience. As a result, they were scolded by others.
"You still have a conscience. Her grave is beside the bamboo forest behind the house. Go and pay your respects.”
"Thank you, Auntie."
After thanking her, Li Dingtian walked towards Liu Yue `e's house.
It was very old.
Everyone in the village had built two-story houses, but his house was still a single-story house. There were no walls, and the yard was filled with all kinds of firewood. The doors and windows looked like they had been installed many years ago, and the paint had peeled off.
Life was tough.
After all, the pillar of the family had never returned.
As he was a taxi driver, he did not earn much money. Perhaps he did not even pay for it. Li Dingtian was not sure how the country provided subsidies for this area. However, he would definitely not give money openly. This would leak information.
No one was home.
Li Dingtian turned around and went to the back of the house.
He immediately saw a graveyard.
The photo on the tombstone was of a kind old man.
Li Dingtian walked over quickly and squatted down. He took out the money he had bought on the way back. He lit the incense and stuck it into the ground. Then, he tore the paper money apart and lit it up.
"Old granny, your son has asked me to pay respects to you on his behalf. He is not the unfilial son that everyone says he is, nor is he a beast that doesn't recognize his own kin. He is a soldier, a true soldier of the Fire Country.”
The paper money burned and turned into ashes. Light blue smoke rose up.
"At that time, when he mentioned you to me, he cried. A strong soldier who had never shed a single tear or shed a single drop of blood cried just like that. He also thought of you and his family all the time, but he really couldn't come back.”
Li Dingtian placed the paper money into the fire.
It was precisely because of those people who silently gave their all like taxi drivers that the Fire Country could have what it had today.
Just like decades ago.
For the sake of the Fire Country's nuclear weapons, too many people had disappeared from this world overnight, completely losing contact with their families. They did not know where they had gone to, and did not know if they were dead or alive. However, they had no choice and no choice. Only with nuclear weapons would the Fire Country be stable, and their families would be stable.
Whoosh.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, sweeping up the ashes and scattering them in the air.
"Grandma, did you hear that?"
Li Dingtian muttered to himself as he looked at the photo on the tombstone.
The old people in the countryside always said that when the ashes were swept up and scattered, it meant that the lost souls had returned. They were taking away the paper money.
"I think you won't blame him, right?”
After burning the joss paper.
Li Dingtian bent his legs and knelt in front of the tombstone. He kowtowed three times for the taxi driver.
"Why is there smoke?"
A faint sound was heard. Li Dingtian stood up and walked quickly into the bamboo forest ahead.
Very quickly.
An old man carrying a hoe walked over. When he saw the burning incense, he was obviously stunned. Then, he quickened his pace and his gaze fell on the knee mark on the ground.
"Son, are you back?"
He quickly turned his head and looked around. His voice was a little excited.
But very quickly.
The light in his eyes dimmed a lot. It was empty around him. The figure that he had been thinking about day and night was nowhere to be seen.
Thump.
Putting down the hoe, the old man walked to the grave and squatted down, staring at the knee print. No one knelt down after the burial because they had no descendants.
"Son, you must be back. Okay, okay. It's okay if you don't come out. Your mother and I have long guessed that you have some difficulties that you can't say. You've been obedient, sensible, and filial since you were young.”
Li Dingtian could not help but clench his fists as he listened to the grandpa's muttering.
But he really couldn't tell the truth.
"Actually, when your mother died, she didn't blame you. She was just worried about you. She was afraid that you would suffer outside and that you wouldn't be living well.”The grandpa's voice was choked up." I'm not blaming you. I just wanted to see if you've gained weight or lost weight. Now that you're back to pay your respects, I'm relieved. I'm relieved.”
Could he really be at ease?
Li Dingtian could clearly see the tears in her cloudy eyes. However, only parents would be like this. Before they died, they would still be concerned about their children's well-being.
"Don't worry about me. My old bones are still strong and I can still do some work. The government has also given me a minimum living allowance. I have money every month.”
Hearing this.
Li Dingtian was relieved. He then returned to the bungalow from the other side. He took out an envelope and placed it on the table in the hall.
Inside the envelope was the money he had taken out. The words he had said to the old lady were written on the envelope to thank the old lady for her help.
After that, he left and hid in the dark. When he saw the old man pick up the envelope, he felt relieved and left. However, his heart was still heavy. He was sure that there were many similar incidents in the Fire Country.
At this moment.
The phone suddenly rang.
"Hello,"
"Deputy Company Commander, where are you?"
It was Luo Zhengguo.
"Shu Land."
Li Dingtian frowned." What's wrong?”
"The commander wants you to come back quickly." Luo Zhengguo replied," Shu Land? Alright, I'll inform the headquarters now. They should contact the troops there and send a plane to send you back.”
"Alright."
Why was he in such a hurry to call him back?
Something big had happened.
Li Dingtian knew this very well. He turned around to take a look before striding away. There were so many people who were desperately protecting this country. Naturally, he had to do his best.
